Definition

A term coined from deceptive online moderator behavior—faking identity, dodging questions, and weaponizing power when confronted. It's what happens when someone builds a house of lies and then flips the table when you knock on the door.

Example Usage

When the admin got called out for lying, they totally tried to sifan their way out by locking the thread.
